Mood Luxury

Moods are a luxury I cannot afford.
They are unpredictable and confusing.
I prefer to indulge in the luxury of a perfume.

Yesterday, my husband was in a generous mood - and he took me to the Ritual Stand.

I tried the beautiful Fleurs de Himalaya - which envelops me in a floral yet clear embrace.
Tea and jasmine offer a pleasant interplay, and the peach adds a delicate sweetness.
The peony bathes the fragrance in a soft pink light, and musk harmoniously rounds off the bright floral scent.

How clear and pure it must smell in the Himalayas.

But I remember how my husband dragged me away from the stand days ago like a child from the candy jar.
He was obviously in a saving mood then.

I listen to myself - and feel no desire to buy.

I place the bottle back on the shelf - and my husband looks surprised - and disappointed.

No, moods are not nice - and I feel guilty.

Today, I will treat myself to the luxury of a pleasant scent - and my husband will know again who I am.
Predictable, indeed.

How do you find it now? I'm testing it right now. Calone usually doesn't bother me in fragrances, but there's another note in here that's annoying. Maybe you were right after all when you didn't feel like buying it?

This scent feels too generic to me. It aims to please and has an inspiring name, but in the end, it's just another simple floral fragrance like so many others.

*haha* I don't have that much money and have to stick to my whims - but they do stay quite reasonable as I get older =D A heartfelt trophy for you!

If Calone is already listed, no, that synthetic aquatic scent always smells like algae and brackish water to me. So, once again, this is a fragrance I will never long for, whether I'm in a good or bad mood.
